Taking a water sample for analysis will
provide the levels of Iron, Manganese and
Hydrogen Sulphide present which will
determine which treatment will be the most
effective and economical. We can help with
taking water samples and providing a
written report on the levels present in the
water, along with our recommendations for
the best treatment option(s), for your
consideration.
When the amount of Iron or Manganese
exceeds what can be effectively removed by
an in-line pleated cartridge, a media tank
fitted with a control valve to reduce the
levels is the answer.
Dissolved Iron and Manganese is oxidised
to speed precipitation, which is then filtered
out, so only clean water enters the home.
Treated water is delivered into a storage
tank of your choice, sized to suit.
We can arrange delivery and installation of
tank, pump and treatment by fully trained
and well experienced Registered Plumbers,
familiar with all systems
Manganese Greensand



Manganese greensand is formulated from a glauconite
greensand which is capable of reducing iron, manganese and
hydrogen sulphide from water through oxidation and filtration.
Soluble iron and manganese are oxidised and precipitated by
contact with higher oxides of manganese on the greensand
granules.
The hydrogen sulphide is reduced by oxidation to an insoluble
sulphur precipitate.
Precipitates are then filtered and removed by backwashing.
When the oxidising capacity power of the Manganese
Greensand is exhausted. The bed has to be regenerated with a
weak potassium permanganate solution thus restoring the
oxidising capacity of the bed. 1 ½ to 2 ounces of potassium
permanganate, in solution, per cubic foot of Manganese
Greensand is considered sufficient for normal regeneration. It
is required to vigorously backwash and regenerate the bed
when it is placed in service and before its oxidisation capacity is
totally exhausted. Operating the bed after oxidisation capacity
is exhausted will reduce its service life and may cause staining.
Control Valves

Whole House Water
Treatment Systems
We have a range of these units, with
completely automatic control valves.
The control valve is fitted onto a round FRP
tank (either 10”x 54” high or 12” x 52” high)
filled with manganese greensand media to
correct the water problem(s) to comply with
the NZ Water Standards.
The system is installed between the well pump
and a water storage tank. A pressure pump
then delivers all the water for the house or
business to bring the water to an acceptable
standard for use.

Clients Comments:
‘We recently purchased a water softener and filtration system from Sue Kelly Water Systems Ltd. Our water quality was so bad it
was almost undrinkable due to high levels of iron, manganese and hardness. The systems she supplied have made a fantastic
difference to the quality of the water; we can now drink it with confidence and pleasure. Sue’s advice, service and backup have
been second to none and we highly recommend her very professional company’. P&K Little River
‘Thank you for giving us beautifully clear water! Our water has always contained a high level of iron that caused cloudiness, a
distinct metal taste and smell in the water. Ice cubes were always brown – not a good look in a gin and tonic! As well as staining
all the bathroon and laundry fitting a horrid brown/black colour, many items of clothing, furnishings and parts of the outside
stone cladding to the house are stained for life. Now the water is cystal clear, no taste, no smell, the WC pan nas been scrubbed
and the iron stain has gone. And the gin and tonics are better than ever! Thank you Sue, for changing our water supply so
radically – we appreciate it’. P&P Hanmer
‘Thank you so much for your help and advice. Your customer service is perfection plus! Many thanks again for your time and
help’. AG, Blenheim
"Tuahiwi groundwater is notorious for high levels of Iron, Manganese and Hydrogen Sulphide. With equipment supplied by Sue
Kelly Water Systems, we are enjoying clean, clear water throughout our house with no staining or objectionable smell.
The Aqua K in the kitchen provides total peace of mind and protection from Bacteria and Agricultural Chemicals."
